The original space for hanging the pic’s was 3×3 feet positioned at a height for best viewing. Since we have a high ceiling, I revised the size to a 5 foot height to allow more flexibility for each display.
If your pic’s are of a smaller size, I recommend a 3×3 configuration.
Space between each display has been allowed, so stay within your three foot width.
Your display may be better shown by hanging in less than a three foot width. Keep in mind that what works best visually is the way to go.

Take note: When submitting your package make sure you use your initials as file names for your digital images. The sample used has mine as an example. GJL-01-14x17tiff
This helps to keep you package together.

I have received this same question a few times now, so I going to answer it here. I thought it was brought up at the meeting be perhaps I was wrong.

If you are unable to sacrifice the 1½” border required to wrap around the frame for fear of ruining the composition, you have a couple of options.

1. Scale your image in Photoshop and make it work
2. Clone, Mirror, Heal Brush or Content-Aware Fill the extra 1½ around each side.
3. If you really must choose to border your image with a border of solid colour then I would suggest that you make your image another inch smaller so that you end up with a colour border on the FRONT that would then wrap around the frame. Hope that makes sense.

If you choose to go with a non-printed border for the wrapping you are doing two things…

1. Putting yourself at risk (no matter how small) that the framer can not wrap your image perfectly and you end up with an imbalanced mount, or something doesn’t get communicated to me, the techs doing the printing or the framer.
2. You are working outside the boundaries of what the rest of the folks are doing, and your prints may stick out like a sore thumb.

Please bear in mind that all of these custom changes need to be detailed as the volume of work for me to manage it is enough that something could easily be missed.
